    Thanks @bill-heim ! I was thinking the one on the right was a squalodon from some google searches. Pretty cool!

      Nice Both rare finds. The one on the left is from a land animal, a very old land animal from the wear. Looks like a tapir to me. The one on the right is from an extinct whale Squalodon possibly calvertensis. It is rare to see them in such good shape. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squalodon and…[Read more]

      I believe that shark tooth to be from some kind of species of tiger shark. The other specimen is defiantly a vertebrae, but I don’t know what?

      a fish vertebra and a shark tooth, tiger most likely. @bill-heim will give you a more certain ID for the tooth.

    • Profile picture of Bill Heim
      Bill Heim replied 2 years, 3 months ago

      In many sharks and in particular Lamnids (like Great Whites and Makos), the ends of the upper teeth usually curve outward away from the mouth and the lower teeth inward. This allows the teeth to slide against each other producing a scissors like cutting action. Remember the flat side (labial side) faces outward and the curved side (lingual side)…[Read more]

    • Profile picture of Bill Heim
      Bill Heim replied 2 years, 3 months ago

      Color has nothing to do with age. Color is produced by the minerals from the material it was buried in changing the chemistry of the tooth. Teeth that end up in the water tend to be dark brown or blackish due to a chemical reaction with phosphate in the teeth. The location and soil/rock layers they come from will allow you to determine the age.

      Greetings @paige-watson ! To get a proper ID you will have post these just a few at a time. It’s impossible to tell from all the assorted teeth you have. Also, adding location data such as county or town name will be helpful in obtaining the geochronology of the specimens which helps ID them. After that and once again @bill-heim should be able to help.
